Amputee and Prosthetic Training

Our physical and occupational therapists work closely with the patient, family, physician and orthotist to maximize the patient's potential following an upper or lower extremity amputation. 

Issues addressed:

• Sitting and standing balance with and without the lower extremity prosthesis
• Skin, scar and stump management
• Prosthetic training
• Care of prosthesis
• Gait training - learning to walk with a lower extremity prosthesis
• Use of upper extremity prosthesis for arm and hand function
